Case Study: Jefferson Health achieves rapid risk visibility and doubled compliance with Zscaler Workload Posture

Jefferson Health Migrates to a Cloud-First Model with Zscaler Workload Posture to Measure and Control Risk

Jefferson Health, a rapidly expanding, multi-state non-profit health system with 34,500 employees and 14 hospitals, moved to a cloud-first strategy to support patient care, research and university collaboration. That transition—combined with strict regulatory requirements like HIPAA, rapid growth and M&A activity—created an urgent need to modernize and quantify its cybersecurity posture across multi-cloud environments (including AWS) while preserving organizational agility.

Jefferson deployed Zscaler Workload Posture to gain continuous visibility, day-one metrics, automated remediation and governance across IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and Kubernetes. The solution doubled compliance scores within four weeks, delivered immediate risk assessments and remediation capabilities, exposed known and unknown workloads for faster governance, reduced security resource demands, and enabled secure, cloud-first innovation and M&A support.
